Rhode Island American, Statesman And Providence Gazette

The Richmond Enquirer has the following elegant criticism upon a typographical error, which occurred in publishing a few sentiments lately offered by the Hon James Barbour, at a public dinner. The Enquirer is playing a paltry game, and it acquires no honor by calumniating such men as James Barbour. There are but few public men, who have pursued through life, a more honorable and high minded course.

"The Orator, however, concludes with a toast, affording another specimen of the ability of the late Administration to compose the most beautiful and appropriate toasts on every occasion:--'Whatever may be the difference of opinion among us, let us have charity enough to believe that they are honest.' Who are they? Is the difference of opinion, they? Oh Ebony! oh! Topaz! oh! highways! oh! by-ways! oh! war, pestilence and famine! Empty barrels surely 'sound the loudest.'"
